How Infections and Infestations cause PEM?

Childhood infections (viral/bacterial) and parasitic infestations are almost always associated with PEM. These cause anorexia (loss of appetite) leading to reduced food intake, interfere with nutrient absorption and utilization, and result in nutrient losses. The role of measles infection, frequent diarrhoea and acute respiratory infections in the onset of PEM is very important.
